Security arrangements at the Asian Cup are being tightened after intelligence reports warned of
possible terrorist threats in two of the four host nations, Thailand and Indonesia. On Tuesday,
Thai police said that Bangkok residents should expect tighter security in places such as airports
and department stores after they ordered more checkpoints and patrols, especially in Muslim

Heute haben wir mal ein Thema abseits von Fussball und Bier. Es hat aber mit einem weiteren Lieblingsgetränk von uns zu tun, der Cola.
